kennedy was running against richard nixon. i was chairman of "minnesotans for kennedy,'' president reagan was chairman of a thing called "democrats for nixon.'' now, maybe we made a wrong turn with kennedy, but i'll be proud of supporting him all of my life. and i'm very happy that john kennedy was elected, because john kennedy looked at the future with courage, saw what needed to be done, and understood his own government. the president just said that his government is shrinking. it's not. it's now the largest peacetime government ever in terms of the take from the total economy. and instead of retreating -- instead of being strong where we should be strong, he wants to make it strong and intervene in the most private and personal questions in american life. shouldwhere government not be. >> mr. president? >> before i campaigned as a democrat for a republican candidate for president, i had already voted for dwight eisenhower to be president of the united states. and so, my change had come earlier than that. i hadn't gotten ar

since 1970, when richard nixon was the president of the united states, the u.s. has had a national policy that air should be safe enough for people to breathe. the republican bill that we are considering today would overturn this policy and cut the heart out of the clean air act by allowing air quality standards to be set on the basis of polluter profits rather than health. this would reverse decades of progress in cleaning up our air. and the gentleman who last spoke on the floor says he likes the fact that we have cleaner air. but enough is enough. the standards -- the standards that we see being changed would no longer be based on health. the bill also null files e.p.a. rules to require power plants to finally reduce their emissions of toxic mercury, which can cause brain damage and learning disabilities in infants and children. reductions in toxic air pollution means more heart attacks, asthma attacks and more emergency room visits and more premature deaths. we have had enough of those. we have to go backwards and allow toxic pollution to do harm to so many p

without the earned income credit, which was passed by richard nixon, there will be in many, many poor people. we. and- we have too many ngo's micro finance people, so-called neliberals seen as helping people but they are creating more bureaucracy, a so-called counselors who will help you to help yourself. -- the neoliberals. we can pay our own bills and take care ourselves while keeping an eye on the people who live on $12. we lost $7 trillion from our 401k plan in 2000, decimated, at the end of the clinton administration. nobody says a word about that. with the housing bubble in 2008, we crashed tremendously. anybody could obscene we were paying $300,000 for a two bedroom house that you could see straight through to the back door. something was terribly wrong. so i really hope and really hope that people pick out the left and the right -- kick out the left and the right. i hope the republicans will stick to their guns as opposed to caving like they did in 2001 and 2003 when they decided to create a homeland security and all this, because somebody said we should federalize the tsa. ho

guest: this is the first elections since watergate which brought down richard nixon in which the candidate is taking public money for the general election. they will be raising money from here until november to try to finance their campaigns. even though bunny takes a break, he still has to bring in more money, as well as obama, and the super pacs after bring in more money, as well as the parties. host: what is the campaign looking like and where are they going? guest: you have the debate on october 3. right now all the polls, most of the polls, show obama with a small but sizable lead. he's betting on likability, winning on front policy, winning on medicare, of winning on health care. romney is only been on the economy. romney with the 47%, and last week, the polls, romney will have a chance to change the narrative. you don't want a candidate with negative publicity. host: do debates to change the outcome of the election? guest: i remember gerald ford saying about soviet domination. who knows what will happen? a lot of people are now turning in. 50 million people watched the debate four y

but just as historians tell us that richard the first was not fit to fill the shoes of the old henry ii and that record was not fit to wear the mantle of his uncle, they might add that nixon did not measure up to the footsteps of the right eisenhower. the policies of nixon and goldwater -- this nation cannot afford such a luxury. perhaps because the ford -- we could afford [inaudible] after buchanan, this nation needed lincoln. after hoover, we needed franklin roosevelt. we are not merely running against mr. nixon. our past is not merely one of itemizing republican failure. the families forced from the farm do not need us to tell them of their plights. the miners and textile workers know the decision is before them in november. the old people without medical care, the families without a decent home, the parents of children without a decent school. they all know that it is time for change. [applause] we are not here to curse the darkness. we are here to light a candle. as winston churchill said, on taking office some 20 years ago, if we open between the present and past, we shall be i
